Change

Life has been good, being a god is great. Julia and I got married and she's even pregnant. Things were going so well, it possibly couldn't have gone wrong. I spoke too soon.

"Attor! Attor!" a man yelled, Honir, running in, we found him recently after Ursus. He was carrying his wand that could foretell the future. He was the last of the Vanir, but all I could focus on now was how his black hair bounced with every step.

"What is it?" I asked, chuckling out his red face and how out of breath he was.

"The meteor its coming!" he yelled shocking me into silence. He foretold of the meteor months ago but said that it would miss us, but now I could tell by how he spoke it was going to hit. I ran outside to see it. As clear as day, a giant flaming ball was heading for us, even the sun seemed to move out of its path to avoid being hit, but what could I do to stop it?

Why did I even think that, I knew what I could do the moment the power tugged at my soul and gut. I quickly pulled back, feeling the oceans, lakes, rivers, Ymir's very blood lift up. I allowed myself to take control of it, pulling more, raising the water into the air. The strain making me grunt and fall to my knees, sweat filling ever pore. Then it made contact. It hit the water, the force of trying to keep it held up under the force of impact from the comet's was too much and caused me to release the water as it sprayed to earth. I fell back, passing out before I could even see our fate.

I opened my eyes slowly only seeing pure darkness though. Was I still alive? Did the meteor hit? If I'm dead was this heaven or hell? I asked myself, than started to notice a faint light and willed myself to sit up. There a lady stood facing away from me, holding a swirling ball of white and black that looked, well it looked like the universe.

"What's going on?" I asked jumping to my feet, though my legs tried to fall out from under me.

"About time you woke up," the lady said turning towards me making me, nearly fall back shocked. Her skin was gray as if made from a dull metal and she had two extra pairs on eyes, one was on the sides of her neck, and the other on the back of her hands.

"Wh-who are you?" I stuttered.

"My name in Anete, I am all that is and ever will be. I am Order," she answered calmly, saying order as if it was a person not a concept.

"If your order why did Ragnarok happen? If I know at least one thing it's that, that wasn't order, it was havoc and chaos," I couldn't help but yell out.

"Everything that has a beginning must have an end," she replied, holding out the universe ball. "You and your friends are in for quite a ride," she said as I stepped forward, unable to fight back the urge to at least touch what she was holding.

"What do you mean?" I asked and touched the ball, starting to feel myself get sucked in though I tried to keep my feet planted firmly here.

"All in good time, all in good time," she said before the pull got too strong and pulled me into the swirling ball and pushed me back under into the darkness.

I screamed and sat back up, frantically looking around. Where was I? It looked like a huge stone room with seven throne-like chairs, all greatly spaced out from one another except for two near the front of the room, which also made them the center of the half circle. Each was a little different. The two at the center seemed to try to push each other away; one was gold and seemed very relaxing and calm, while the other one was dark and seemed to suck the energy and happiness right out of the air. There were three on the side of the dark one. One seemed very high tech and was glass, but inside you could see gears and pistols of all different metals working inside it. Next to that was one seemed to be made of blue moss, and lastly the one next to that was made of water. I looked toward the ones on the side of the golden throne, but all I saw was one that seemed to be made of wind and clouds before I heard a sweet soft voice I knew well speak.

"Ushi are you alright?" it asked quickly. I turned excitedly to see Julia, but instead a saw a young woman like the one who said she was order. She had gray skin, thick wool like blue hair, and four bright blue eyes were only two should be, wearing a dress of silver vines.

"What happened to you Julia?" I asked before I could think.

"Jue-yi-uh?" she tried to sound it out, frowning, "Ushi are you okay, its me Kina," she said walking over as I could now see her round belly.

"Wait your calling me Ushi? No I'm Attor," I said, her bright blue eyes filling with concern.

"No your name is Ushi; it's been Ushi since the beginning of time. Come you need some rest, we can't have you being sick with your children's birth so close," she said trying to lead to a hallway that led out of the huge room.

"Wait my children!" I nearly yelled, as I could tell this woman was close to tears.

"U-Ushi how could you not remember?" she mumbled, rubbing her belly absentmindedly.

"K-Kina?" I asked trying to keep voice calm so she wouldn't cry, making her look up at me. "What's going on? You act like I should know you and you say my names Ushi, but I don't remember any of this," I said gesturing around the room with a sweep of my arm.

"This is Riggen, our planet. You are Ushi the great ocean and I'm Kina the land, we've been married for many years now and I currently carry 2 of your children. Do you remember now?" she asked as I solemnly shook my head.

"Just rest," she said going to the hallway, allowing me to follow as she placed her hand on the 3rd door. It was pure white and as she placed her hand on it her hand glowed blue, and the door melted away revealing a room that was covered in that blue moss like stuff one of thrones was made of. I expected it to be warm and wet, but when I stepped onto the moss it felt like the softest pile of cool feathers.

"Please get some rest, I don't want you being this way when your children arrive," she muttered sadly, not looking up as she stepped back and the door reformed. Leaving me alone in the room.

It was a couple hours before someone came in. It was a man that looked human with a lean but well built body like me, along with ear length jet black hair and dark eyes, but he had a pair of black bat-like wings, each one seeming to be made up of two.

"Hello there Ushi, Kina sent me, are you feeling better?" the man asked.

"I feel fine who are you?" I tried not to snap, the man shaking his head with tut-tut sound.

"My name is Krenacht, the god of Darkness, don't you remember anything?" he asked as he sat down a few feet in front of me.

"Nothing that seems right, I feel like I'm in a dream or what I do remember is a dream," I said the man letting out an apathetic sigh.

"Well the best place to start would be the beginning," he said quickly, "it all started with The Great Nothingness."
